The Factorial Structure of the Meaning of Working
通过对十个职业群体和劳动力代表样本的访谈，用因子分析将39个变量归纳为13个可解释因子，揭示工作意义的结构维度，包括工作中心性、社会规范、工作成果、工作目标和工作角色认同。
The structure of the Meaning of Working (MO W) was empirically analyzed through factor analysis. Interviews were conducted with samples from ten occupational groups, as well as a representative sample of the labor force, to determine the dimensions constituting the structure of work meanings. The original 39 variables resulted in 13 interpretable factors which were categorized into the following work domains: centrality of work as a life role, societal norms about working, valued work outcomes, importance of work goals, and work role identification. An unexpected domain, consisting of nonwork areas of life, also emerged as significant.
